Carrie Radomski, Director at Biomedical Research & Longevity Society, Resurgence Biomedical Science, and Biostasis Technologies, presents on how existing standby, stabilization, and transport (SST) procedures may help maintain the perfusability of the brain after death at the Brain Preservation Summit 2026, September 19–20, 2026, at the Sparks HQ in Salem, Oregon.
